Hi Edmond. You have to realize that our perceptions are based upon what we actually know. For instance, your basically the Bible is a man's book theory...
Suppose it is just a collection of myths and legends, we say that because there is no tangible proof otherwise, so why should we say it's from the creator when it is without a doubt written by humans.In it are words of wisdom but you can find words of wisdom all over the place and we don't claim those to be inspired by God because they are formed by mans intelligence.
This would apply to you as an "option" because God hasn't spoken with you personally. But he has spoken to me personally and there are specific verses in the Bible that apply specifically to ME. So how is it I can claim the Bible isn't inspired or that there is no God. I can't because of my personal experience in the matter. You can go fantasizing there is no God or that the Bible is just a book uninspired, but it's only because you don't have enough information, as you say to prove otherwise. YOU have no tangigle proof otherwise, but that's just YOU. That doesn't apply to others. I have plenty of tangigle proof, not that you'd understand it.
I think it was for arguments like yours that Jehovah provided a skyscape photographer to photograph the "sign of the son of man" that was supposed to appear during end times related to the second coming. Now it is IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO FOCUS HERE. That is, part of the signs included this "sign" that was to be seen in the sky. FOCUS. When the eagle-anointed see the sign they cry and beat themselves in lamentation when they see it. Why? Obviously, the sign must be related to the death of the messiah. Does the messiah die again at the second coming? Yes! He becomes a CARCASS. That is why the Bible describes these eagle-anointed ones as.."Where the CARCASS [dead body] is, so the eagles will be gathered together." So the eagles know where the dead Christ is and when they see his sign in heaven, which depicts him as a dead child, then they mourn upon seeing it. It's not that complicated.
Now interestingly enough, the WTS didn't quite buy into this because they believed that 1914 marked the INVISIBLE coming of the Christ, even though many anointed ones were seeing this sign of the dead black child representing the dead prodigal son. So they dealt with this in their subliminal/cryptic artwork in the publication. They rejected this doctrine even though the scriptures clearly suggest the prodigal son and Lazarus are actually the messiah at the second coming. So here is a graphic of the photographic of the "sign of the son of man" provided me along with proof in the Revelation book that others have seen this sign. So to me, this is TANGIGLE PROOF OTHERWISE. You may not accept this as evidence, but I do. So I'm not in your category of having no TANGIBLE PROOF because my belief system is not just based on the Bible, I do have tangigle proof relating to fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

So from my perspective, you're simply somone who Jehovah has kept in the dark, so you have little choice but to perhaps think the Bible is not inspired or God does not exist, and perhaps that is of some comfort for you. But across the tracks, a lot more on a spiritual level connected with the Bible is actually going on, so we cannot relate to your skepticism at this point, particularly after 1947, when things related to prophecy and the second coming would increase among the chosen anointed.
But as Christ noted, "those who have much will get more" meaning those who already have faith will see the "sign of the son of man" or like me be provided a photocopy of the sign. For those who have nothing, that is, who don't believe the Bible is inspired, that will be taken from them. Meaning, God will cause their zero disbelief to increase to a -1 or -20 disbelief. He will give them even MORE evidence he doesn't exist or that the Bible is a book of myths, so that he is totally stumbled.
You think God and Christ are nice? Well, they are to the sheep. But for those who insist on ignoring many obvious indicators, God casts them into darkness, blinds them and leads them to the edge of a steep cliff and then Jesus comes up from behind and pushes him over the edge, basically.
For the doubters, God makes it incredibly hard to believe, even if something is explained in detail...
ACTS 13:41 ‘Behold it, YOU scorners, and wonder at it, and vanish away, because I am working a work in YOUR days, a work that YOU will by no means believe even if anyone relates it to YOU in detail.’"
But don't worry, Jehovah has claimed he will not remain in obscurity for the world at large indefinitely. He will show himself when he gives a huge wake-up call at Armageddon. But, again, those of us of the anointed in addition to our proven faith in scripture and fulfilled prophecy, plus PHOTOS!!! I understand your position, but it's nice to have some tangible, visible, physical modern evidence that the Bible is true. So your statement about "no tangible evidence" only applies to those who don't have it obviously. But others definitely do.
Thanks for sharing your doubting demographic with us. But this was also prophesied and to be expected. So you need to qualify your statement and say: "no tangible evidence that I have personally seen thus far" instead of making a broad statement, since that statement wouldn't apply to anyone who has seen the "sign of the son of man" either in person or via photo.
